Phil Collen At LA Fitness Expo And His Thoughts On Childhood Obesity
Written by Vegetarian Star on January 20th, 2011 in Children, Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Nutrition-Health-Fitness.
Def Leppard’s Phil Collen will give a presentation at the Los Angeles Fitness Expo on January 29 and January 30. He’ll be joined by his fitness trainer, international Muay Thai Kick Boxing champion and world coach Jean Carrillo. The pair will cover weight training, cardiovascular health and health and nutrition for all ages.
One particular subject Collen will touch on is the issue of childhood obesity. We got a chance to do a Q & A with Collen recently and asked this current vegan and vegetarian for over three decades how convincing parents that a plant-based diet is key to fighting this epidemic.
“When it comes to telling parents how to feed their children it can be a touchy subject if bad eating habits were ingrained in those parents when they were children and so on. To them, there may be no other way. There are walls of excuses to get around.”
“The most we can do is deliver the facts of healthy eating and hope that they catch on and take its benefits to heart enough to want to save their lives and the lives of their children. If we can influence parents’ trips to the grocery store and persuade them to begin to change just one meal a day for a healthier substitute, then we can count that as a victory for the children’s sake.”
